Heineken has launched a bid to take control of Asia Pacific Breweries, the maker of Tiger Beer, in response to a challenge from ThaiBev last week. The Dutch brewer is offering S$5.1 billion ($4 billion) to buy out Fraser and Neave’s stake in the company, which would take its interest up to 81.6% and thwart its Thai rival’s ambitions.
